Terms of use
The rules, written
so you can actually read them.
By creating an account you agree to these terms. They form a binding contract between you and T3KZ Services (OPC) Private Limited, so please read section 8 on liability and section 11 on jurisdiction carefully.
The short version. Be 18 or over. Verify with a real work email. Do not harass anyone. Do not ask for money on Q-Help. Qs are not money and cannot be cashed out. Subscriptions auto-renew and are cancelled through your app store. We connect people, we do not supervise them — meeting anyone offline is at your own risk.
1. Accepting these terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and T3KZ Services (OPC) Private Limited ("T3KZ", "QBCLE", "we", "us"), a One Person Company incorporated in India with its registered office in Bengaluru, Karnataka. QBCLE is a brand owned and operated by T3KZ Services (OPC) Private Limited.

- crew@qbcle.space
These Terms apply to the QBCLE mobile app, the website at qbcle.com and all related services (together, the "Platform").
By creating an account, verifying your work email or using any part of the Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
These Terms constitute an electronic record under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and do not require a physical signature.
2. Who may join
- You must be at least 18 years old. QBCLE contains dating and matrimony features and is not available to minors under any circumstances.
- You must be a salaried working professional able to verify a genuine company email address that you personally control.
- You must be legally competent to contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
- You must not have been previously removed from the Platform for a breach of these Terms.
- The Platform is intended for use within India. We do not represent that it is appropriate or available elsewhere.
One person may hold one account only. A work email address can be verified on one account only.
3. Your account and verification
3.1 Honest verification
You may verify only a work email address that belongs to you and that you are authorised to use. You must not verify using a colleague's address, a shared mailbox, a disposable domain, or an address obtained without permission.
Attempting to verify with an address you do not control is a serious breach and will result in permanent removal without refund of any subscription then in force.
3.2 Accurate information
Your display name, age, gender, city, photo and any employment details you add must be truthful and must relate to you. Impersonating another person, using another person's photographs, or misstating your age is grounds for immediate removal.
3.3 Keeping it secure
You are responsible for your credentials and for activity on your account. Never share your password or a one-time code — no one from QBCLE will ever ask for either. Tell us immediately at crew@qbcle.space if you suspect unauthorised access.
3.4 Changing employers
Your account is personal to you and is not the property of your employer. When you change jobs, verify your new work email and your employer badge updates. We will not suspend, unmask, transfer or delete your account at an employer's request.
4. Community conduct
QBCLE works because verified people behave better. The following are prohibited anywhere on the Platform:
- Harassment, threats, stalking, intimidation or repeated unwanted contact after someone has disengaged.
- Hate speech or abuse based on religion, caste, region, language, gender, sexual orientation, disability or any other protected characteristic.
- Sexually explicit content, nudity, or sending sexual material to anyone who has not asked for it.
- Sharing another member's identity, photographs, contact details, employer or private messages without their consent — including revealing someone from an anonymous Q-Chat.
- Soliciting money, loans, investments, crypto, gambling or any financial transaction from other members.
- Commercial spam, recruitment scams, multi-level marketing, or bulk unsolicited messaging.
- Disclosing your employer's confidential information, trade secrets, unreleased financials or client data. You are solely responsible for complying with your own employment contract, confidentiality obligations and company policies.
- Automated access — scraping, bots, crawlers, reverse engineering, or bypassing rate limits and feature caps.
- Anything unlawful under Indian law.
To be explicit: we do not report members to their employers. We enforce these rules ourselves through warnings, suspension and removal. We disclose information to third parties only where the law compels us to.
5. Module-specific rules
5.1 Q-Chat (anonymous)
Q-Chat message content is never stored by us. This means we cannot produce a transcript, including for a report. Report a session while it is open, or capture your own evidence before ending it. Revealing yourself is voluntary; pressuring another member to reveal is harassment.
5.2 Q-Date and Q-Matrimony
We provide matching tools. We do not conduct criminal background checks, marital status checks, income verification against payslips, or any offline due diligence on any member. A verification badge confirms an email address and a phone number — nothing more. Assess people yourself, and see section 8.
5.3 Q-Lens (company questions and reviews)
Post your own honest opinion and experience. Do not name individual colleagues or managers, disclose confidential information, or post statements you know to be false. Q-Lens content is anonymous to all members, and employers cannot have it removed simply because it is unflattering. We will remove content that names individuals, breaches confidentiality, or violates these Terms.
5.4 Q-Ride (carpooling)
QBCLE is not a transport operator, aggregator or intermediary for hire. We do not employ, license or supervise drivers, do not verify driving licences, vehicle registration, insurance or fitness, and do not process ride payments. Carpooling is a private arrangement between members, on a cost-sharing basis only, and both parties must comply with applicable motor vehicle law.
5.5 Q-Help (social causes)
Monetary requests are strictly prohibited. Q-Help is only for non-financial help — blood donation, tutoring, volunteering, animal rescue, awareness and disaster relief. Do not post bank details, UPI IDs, QR codes, payment links or fundraising appeals. Offering to help creates no obligation on either side, and we do not verify the genuineness of any cause. Never send money to anyone you meet on QBCLE.
5.6 Q-Market and Q-Hire
Listings and job posts are between members. We are not a party to any sale, rental, adoption, gig or employment arrangement, do not hold funds, and offer no escrow, warranty or dispute resolution. Verify goods and counterparties yourself.
5.7 Q-Fun and Q-Tools
Games are for entertainment; there is no wagering and no cash prize. Calculator outputs are indicative estimates only and are not financial, tax or investment advice. Consult a qualified professional before acting on them.
6. QSalary (Qs) and rewards
- Qs are a virtual in-app reward with no monetary value. They are not a currency, a deposit, a security, a prepaid payment instrument or stored value.
- Qs cannot be purchased with money, sold, exchanged, transferred for consideration, withdrawn, or converted to cash, goods or vouchers outside the Platform.
- Qs are earned only through in-app activity such as verifying your employer, completing your profile, posting, or a colleague joining through your invite and verifying.
- Qs are spent only on in-app allowances, such as an extra date request or an extra gang beyond the free limit.
- We may adjust earn and spend rates, correct balances obtained through error, bug or abuse, and reverse credits from fraudulent invites.
- Qs are forfeited without compensation if your account is closed by you or removed by us. They are not part of your estate.
- Scratch cards and similar rewards are promotional. Earned cards may be gifted where the app allows; received cards may not be re-gifted.
7. Plans, billing and refunds
7.1 Plans
QBCLE offers a free tier and two paid tiers. Current prices, inclusive of GST, are ₹99 per month or ₹999 per year for Basic, and ₹499 per month or ₹4,999 per year for Premium. Prices shown in the app at the time of purchase prevail.
7.2 Auto-renewal
Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price, until you cancel. Your app store charges the payment method on file.
7.3 Cancellation
Cancel at any time through your Google Play or Apple App Store subscription settings. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription. Cancellation stops the next renewal; you keep paid features until the current period ends.
7.4 Refunds
Purchases are processed by the app store, so refunds are governed by that store's policy and must be requested there. Because paid features are delivered immediately, part-used periods are generally not refundable. We will support a legitimate refund request by confirming account facts to the store where asked. Where the store cannot act, write to us and we will consider the request on its merits.
7.5 Failed payments
If a renewal fails you enter a grace period during which paid features continue while the store retries. If it remains unresolved your account reverts to the free tier. Your data, connections and Qs are unaffected.
7.6 Price changes
We may change prices. Existing subscribers will be notified at least 30 days before a change affects their renewal and may cancel before it applies.
7.7 Advertising
Free-tier members may see advertisements. Paid plans are ad-free. We are not responsible for the content of third-party advertisements or the sites they lead to.
8. Your risk, and the limits of our responsibility
Read this section carefully. QBCLE introduces people to each other. We do not supervise members, guarantee their conduct, or take responsibility for what happens between them.
- Verification is not a character reference. A badge confirms control of a work email and a phone number. It does not certify identity beyond that, criminal history, marital status, income, intentions or safety.
- Offline meetings are at your own risk. Meet in public, tell someone where you are going, arrange your own transport, and stop if you feel uncomfortable. See our safety charter.
- We do not screen members. We act on reports after the fact; we cannot prevent a bad actor from joining.
- Member content is not ours. Reviews, posts, listings and messages are created by members and do not represent our views. We do not verify their accuracy.
- Availability. The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, and features may change or be withdrawn.
- Liability cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from or relating to the Platform is limited to the total amount you paid us in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or ₹1,000, whichever is greater.
- Excluded losses. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, opportunity, reputation, data or goodwill, however arising.
- What we do not exclude. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Indian law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.
- Indemnity. You will indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your content, or your conduct towards another member.
9. Content and intellectual property
- You keep ownership of the photos, posts, reviews and messages you create.
- You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt for formatting, and display your content solely to operate and promote the Platform. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained in backups or where law requires retention.
- You confirm you have the rights to everything you upload, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.
- The QBCLE name, the logo, "Life Beyond 9-to-5", the Q-module names, the app design and all software are the property of T3KZ Services (OPC) Private Limited. You may not copy, adapt or use them without written permission.
- To report content that infringes your copyright or trade mark, write to crew@qbcle.space with details of the work, the location of the infringing content and a statement of your rights.
10. Suspension and termination
10.1 Our enforcement ladder
Depending on severity we may issue a warning, remove content, restrict a feature, suspend an account temporarily, or remove it permanently. Serious breaches — threats, sexual content sent to an unwilling recipient, impersonation, fraudulent verification, or endangering another member — may result in immediate permanent removal on a first instance.
10.2 Report-based suspension
Only verified members may file reports, which prevents coordinated abuse of the system. An account that accumulates three upheld reports is automatically suspended pending review.
10.3 Appeals
If you believe an action was wrong, write to crew@qbcle.space within 30 days. We will review and respond. Where a removal was mistaken, we will restore the account.
10.4 Your right to leave
You may delete your account at any time from settings or by writing to us. Deletion removes your profile, photos, posts and messages, subject to the retention periods in the Privacy Policy. Unused Qs and any remaining paid period are forfeited without refund.
11. Governing law and disputes
- These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India.
- Please contact us first — most disputes are resolved by email within a few days.
- If a dispute cannot be resolved amicably, it will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
- Nothing in this section affects your rights as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, including your right to approach the appropriate District, State or National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. For a change that materially affects your rights or obligations, we will notify you in the app and by email at least 14 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Platform after that date means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, delete your account before the effective date. The version and date at the top of this page always reflect the current text.
13. Contact and grievance redressal

14. General
- Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the Platform.
- Severability. If a provision is held unenforceable, the rest continues in force.
- No waiver. Not enforcing a right on one occasion does not waive it.
- Assignment. You may not transfer your account or these Terms. We may assign them to a successor on notice to you.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Language. The English text prevails over any translation.
